It is not welded in to the chassis but is a fully welded unit that can be lifted in and out and bolted down.The mock up here is not T45 and has every possible option. The cage I will eventually have will be T45 and one or two bars removed. I'll let you know the weight then......

please do, thank you (I have to say I did not fully understand some of the tubes - usually in tubular cages axis coincide as much as possible).

Drained the sump and put winter weight Castrol GTX 10W-40 in. Finally got a nice torque wrench which reads up to 250 lb-ft so I can accurately torque my octagonal nut spinners down to 200lb-ft instead of being close by standing on a breaker bar! After a test drive, I may have solved /improved a driveline vibration issue...… Also, after crawling about underneath checking various bolts for tightness, found loose proximal intermediate pipe at the y-pipe connector level-have ordered new S4 muffler and connector, clamps, straps, etc. for exhaust update. stainless header is in nice shape. Now it will be nice and loud after the old Sprint muffler is gone! Plus, a nice drive in Northern Virginia sunshine today.

I put the roof up, but not until we got back from fetching the newspaper. It`s just far enough to warm the car through, a good idea throughout the winter, I think. Laying the car up for months is not too good and must be like sleeping in separate bedrooms for half the year.My youthful navigator didn`t feel the cold but is was a bit nippy, just like the car.Jim
